Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation in the field of medical implants, particularly in the development of advanced drug delivery systems. By leveraging the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as their high surface area, small size, and ability to interact with biological systems at the molecular level, nanotechnology enables more precise and controlled release of therapeutic agents directly at the target site. This approach significantly enhances the effectiveness of drug delivery while minimizing systemic side effects. In medical implants, nanotechnology can be used to coat devices, integrate drug-eluting properties, or create implants that release medications in response to specific physiological triggers. The integration of nanotechnology into implantable drug delivery systems has the potential to revolutionize treatments for chronic diseases, cancer, infections, and tissue regeneration. This article explores the role of nanotechnology in medical implants, its applications in drug delivery, the benefits it offers, and the challenges that must be addressed to fully harness its potential.
